NEWS FROM THE LIBRARY

This semester’s bookmark contest, run in conjunction with the Art Department , had a late start and

as a result, we had submissions from only two classes, Ms. Trujillo’s Art 11/12.

There were two first place winning entries and an Honourable Mention . The first place students

each received a $20 gift card, and the Honourable Mentions a $10 gift card from Chapters for their

amazing entries. Additionally, the first place winners from both classes will have their bookmarks

printed and laminated so our school community can enjoy their award winning efforts.

Well-deserved congratulations to all!

Stay tuned for next semester’s FH Bookmark contest for Junior and Senior Art classes!

Many thanks again to the main office for the use of their printer and laminator and to the FH Pac for their

financial support of this contest. And, of course, thanks to Ms. Staite, our library clerk, who always does a

wonderful job of making the final product.

In other library news, we have an amazing group of students who are part of the FH Book Club, “Hooked

on Books”. They meet almost every Friday after school in the library to talk/discuss/argue and enjoy eve-

rything and anything about books and reading. This is a very fluid and informal gathering which is wel-

coming and open to new members.

ABORIGINAL OPEN HOUSE

Dear Frank Hurtians,

Last, Thursday, October 9th, we welcomed over 150 guests (including about 70 current and former students, and their families) for our 3rd Annual Aboriginal Open House!

It is with great pride in our Frank Hurt community that I offer thanks for contributions, participation, and supportive words. Over 20 Frank Hurt Family of Schools staff contributed directly to making the night possible, with many more sending a personal message of support. A special thanks to Robbie Bandura for acknowledging the land, welcoming us, and opening with prayer. Many families also donated, time, money, food and prizes to the community dinner. Thanks to the many generous contributions we shared a baked salmon dinner, with pasta, potatoes, salads, and roasted veg-etables, and bannock for desert. We also offered several exciting door prizes that were kindly donated from our community!

Student and staff volunteers helped with everything from set-up to clean-up and cooking in-between. Children served their elders, as we enjoyed the DJ stylings of Tristan (our newest leader from Kelowna). Graduate Justin Webb performed (rapped) an original song, and Tristan even joined him with some freestyle beat-boxing. A couple younger siblings from one of our new fami-lies helped with tickets and drawing door prizes. The Heffernan’s one the grand prize night’s stay at the Ramada (Victoria or Vancouver)! I was so im-pressed by all the families that stayed late to help clean up!

The evening was a wonderful oppor-tunity to see our students in a new context, as members of families and

broader communities (my mom came too). From carrying little ones around the caf, to seeing relatives share laughs across the table.

Thanks again,

The FH Aboriginal Team

Below is a message sent by a member of our community:

“Thank you to the many who contributed to making the Third Annual Aboriginal Open House a wonder-ful event!

In the beginning I was welcomed by a former Frank Hurt graduate and escorted into the dining hall by stu-dents. Throughout the evening I was aware of a spirit of interest, confident cooperation and enjoyment. At the end of the evening I was unexpectedly escorted to my car by the grandmother of the young man who prepared

the salmon.

This was clearly a happy time. A time of people working together to make it possible for us to gather for a ‘family meal’ and celebrate community.

Thank you.”

Ps. I’d be very surprised if anyone read this far :P I know it is such a busy time, but I really do think FH is full of caring/expert educators!

Just a reminder

If your child is going to be absent from school, or late coming to school, please call the school at 604-590-1311, to let

us know. If calling before hours, there is an attendance line where you can leave a message.

When calling in, please provide the following information, so that we can ensure that the proper student is marked ab-

sent:

Student number, student last name, student first name, (please spell the names), student grade, reason for absence, iden-

tity of person calling (ie. mom, guardian etc.).

SAFETY CONCERN

Please remember that 77th Avenue in front

of the school is a school zone for driving.

Please do not speed, make u-turns, or double

park. Please also yield to pedestrians.

Please note that the driveways in front of the

school are for special purposes, such as ac-

cess for emergency vehicles, access for

The Frank Hurt Mandatory Study Hall Program

At Frank Hurt, we are dedicated to student success. Our message is :

“We do our work”!

One of the ways in which we show this commitment is through our Mandatory Study Hall Program.

This program runs 3 days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) from 3:00 - 4:00 pm in the school library. It

is staffed by two teachers, Ms. Beyer and Ms. Marsden.

Classroom teachers can refer students who are struggling or falling behind in their work (generally defined as missing 3 essential core assignments) to the Study Hall teachers. Counsellors, youth workers and/or administrators will then meet with those students to inform them that they are expected to attend mandatory Study Hall until they are caught up in their classwork.

Students can also choose to drop in to Study Hall, when space permits, as long as they arrive before 3:00 pm, sign in with the teachers, and agree to work quietly and independently till 4:00 pm.

This is the sixth full year of Mandatory Study Hall at Frank Hurt. It has helped reduce failure rates in the past. For this rea-son, we are continuing to run (and modify) the program again this year. Student success is our primary focus at Frank Hurt.

Attendance Matters!

We feel that if students are in class and on time, we are helping to create the best possible learning conditions. We

know that interruptions to learning are distracting. We will be working with students who are frequently absent from

school and who are frequently late coming to school. We thank you for your assistance with these matters.

Home and Emergency Contacts

Please ensure that the school has all the correct contact

numbers and correct names on our emergency contact

database. Please also ensure that we have all names and

numbers of individuals that are able to sign out or give

permission for a student to be signed out in case of illness,

appointments etc. If these numbers or names change

throughout the year, it is extremely important that the

school be informed of the change. Otherwise, in the event

of an emergency or if we need to contact someone, this

may not be possible.

Thank you for your co-operation.

FRANK HURT DRESS REGULATIONS

At Frank Hurt Secondary, it is important to have

an atmosphere that is both safe and respectful.

To that end, student clothing is expected to be

appropriate for a learning and working environ-

ment. Students are required to dress in an ac-

ceptable manner suited to the activity in which

they are involved. Inappropriate attire includes:

designs/advertising, promoting drugs, weapons

or alcohol: sexually explicit or suggestive de-

signs: profanity or violence: threatening lan-

guage: derogatory and/or discriminatory lan-

guage.

MEDICAL ALERTS

Does your child have a medical condition?

If your child has a medical condition, the school should be aware of and it is important to have

this information on file. We request you come to the school and complete a medical care plan

for your child at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.

Extreme Weather Conditions and School Status

Making a decision to delay or cancel classes or close schools due to extreme weather conditions is a serious matter. The school district values student and staff safety, learning time in schools is precious, and we also recognize that our community is dependent on schools being open for normal daily routines to take place - with children engaged in learning and under the care and supervision of education staff while their parents pursue work and other commitments. The district standard is that schools will remain open and operating as close to normal as possible except in extreme circumstances such as prolonged power outages, physical damage to a school and/or transportation route closures.

Weather-related closures, class cancellations & delayed openings

In addition to educating children, schools are expected to provide safe, supervised environments. Any cancellation, closure or delayed school opening has a significant impact on tens of thousands of families. Most cannot arrange alternate childcare when classes are cancelled or schools are closed unexpectedly. Consequently, schools will not routinely be closed due to snow or other weather conditions unless there is damage or other circumstances (e.g., power outage) at a particular school that makes it impossible to operate safely. No announcement will be made that schools are open; only cancellations, closures or delayed school openings will be announced. The district supports individual and family decisions regarding safety. Student and staff safety are a priority of the school district. Parents/guardians have primary responsibility for their children's safe travel to school and staff members also decide if local conditions may be unsafe. If, for any rea-son, there are personal concerns about the ability to travel safely to school, other arrangements should be made. It is understood some students travel to school on routes that may be challenging on a snow day; therefore, no student will be penalized for lack of attendance because of such conditions. While schools are likely to be kept open, the decision to attend is the responsibility of each family. Parents can phone or email the school to notify staff a student won't be attend-ing. Weather-related student absences will be excused.

Some schools may announce a delayed opening time. The delayed opening time will be announced on the district website and through the media. The delay would be to allow more time to address potential issues such as a power outage or staff access to the school. The district will do its best to communicate the status of schools beginning at about 7 am, when possible. Weather, power, road and safety conditions can change substantially within a few hours, therefore assessments and decisions are made early in the morning so the information is more reliable.

UNEXPECTED SCHOOL CLOSURES

Sometimes extreme weather conditions or other unusual circumstances can cause a school closure on short notice. In the event of potential school closure during the 2014 - 2015 school year, please monitor the following radio stations:

CKNW (980 AM or www.cknw.com

News 1130 (1130 AM or www.news1130.com)

CBC Radio (690 AM or www.cbc.ca/bc)

Red FM (93.1 FM)

Radio India (1600 AM)

Radio Punnjab (cable/satellite)

Fairchild Radio (1470 AM)

CHMB (1320 AM)

Surrey school closure information may also be broadcast on the Weather Channel and local TV stations. Whenever possible, the Surrey School District will post such information on its web site at www.surreyschools.ca.

Even if all schools are open, many schools can face conditions and circumstances unique to a specific neighbourhood. Therefore, the district encourages and respects the importance of parental decision-making regarding accessing a school, based on parents’ own location and individual circumstances, their route to school and overall attention to safety.

End of Semester One – January 2015 Reporting Information

Marks entry can begin on Jan 29th. Detailed instructions can be found in your blue “Teacher Assistant Re-

sources” manual, pages 49-62. This can be found on the S-drive under “Staff Only” “Handbooks”.

Some do’s and don’t, please and thank-you:

Do not use the work habit “E”.

Do not use an “I” as a final mark.

Everyone must receive a mark. Blanks, or marks of 0% are not accepted. Please see Irene or

the student’s Alpha VP if this is a mark you are considering.

If the student is SPED, be sure to follow the directions from Special Ed before using NM. Any

questions can be directed to Steve Sheffield or the student’s Case Manager.

Be sure to enter a mark in both the “Mark” column AND the “Final” column for Semestered

courses and only enter a mark in the “Mark” column for Linear courses

Avoid marks between 46-49%. If a student is in this range, please call home, keep the student in

for extra help or make use of the Course Completion Days.

If a student is recommended for summer school use comment 173. Students cannot take remedi-

al summer school classes without the teacher’s recommendation. It is recommended that stu-

dents have >40% before taking summer school but they do accept students if the teachers feel it

is in the best interest for the student even if it is under 40%.

For students writing provincial exams, use comment 10. You may also write a personalized com-

ment or enter a second comment code.

You may decide to write your own comments (see instructions in “Teacher Assistant Resource”

page 56). Some find it as easy as looking through the comment codes book and it adds an ele-

ment of personalization.

Verifications will be in teacher mailboxes by February 6th. Please take a moment to review and

make any changes in BCeSIS before the end of the day on February 6th.

Thursday, February 12 by 3:30 pm – Report card attachments (in duplicate) are to be filed in the office.

TEXTBOOK COLLECTION

Collection of textbooks is the responsibility of the classroom teacher until the end of the day, Monday, February 9th. On Tuesday,

February 10th, the office will take responsibility for text collection.

It is expected that teachers vigorously pursue students/parents regarding outstanding texts. It is the classroom teachers’ responsibility

to bill all students who have lost or damaged texts. Please use Statement of Charge forms found in wooden drawers in photocopy

room. Please make sure you press hard enough to imprint all three copies. Please put homeroom # on form. Students receive white

copy only. Make sure that all 3 copies of the form are destroyed when the student returns the text.

Price lists for text are available from your department head.

Teachers should issue a Statement of Charges form to students [white copy only] for a lost or damaged text as soon as possible.

Teachers do not collect money from students. Students are to be sent to the office to pay their debt.

The office staff will start accepting both the yellow and pink copy of the Statement of Charge at the end of the day, Monday, February

9th as we will need them to match the texts the students return to the office.

Each department is responsible for ensuring that a department member is available throughout the exam week so students missing

textbooks can go through the stacks in their department’s book room.

After 3:00pm on Mon-

day, February 9th, please

do not collect textbooks

from students!

End of Semester Information January 2015 - Students

Some Pretty Good Advice from Exam-Writing Experts

Before the Exam

Get a good night’s sleep – avoid ‘cramming’.

Eat breakfast! Have a snack to eat just before the exam.

Be organized the night before:

o Have all your materials ready – including your Go card or picture ID.

o Do you need a calculator?

o Have extra pens, pencils, erasers….

o You may wish to bring a bottle of water and maybe some Kleenex.

Make sure you get to school on time. Students will not be admitted one-half hour after exams start.

Students who miss their exam will not be able to re-take it until June 2014.

Check the exam schedule (on the back), then double check.

The Day of the Exam

Stay away from other students if they are going to make you nervous.

Check that you have all your materials.

Make a bathroom pit stop – no bathroom breaks during exams (unless dire emergency and then you need an escort!)

Paper Exams are in the Math Module and Electronic Exams are on the 3rd Floor.

o Classrooms are organized alphabetically. Exams are organized alphabetically on each desk.

Look for your name on the student response sheet.

o Stay calm if you can’t find your name/exam – just ask a supervisor.

Bring your Photo ID

Be on time! Ar r ive at your exam session by 8 am (for a morning session) or 12 pm (for an afternoon session) – it will take

30 minutes to be signed in and have instructions read to you.

At the Start of the Exam

Leave any backpacks etc. preferably at home; or at the front of the classroom. The only electronic devices allowed are calcula-

tors. No cell phones or other electronic devices are allowed. If you bring these materials you will have to leave them on the

floor at the front of the classroom

The only things you should have on your desk are pens, pencils, an approved calculator (if required) and photo ID.

Sit quietly and listen for instructions.

Remember what you have learned about taking exams: read through the entire exam; plan out your approach; check your time;

stay calm when you see questions that seem difficult – skip them then go back. Do your best!

After the Exam

Leave all exam materials at your desk.

Leave the room and the area quietly so you don’t disturb other students finishing the exam.

Smile – you are done!

Have a great second semester!
